Kids can be fussy – well, mine can! According to one of our allergists, children with allergies can be more fussy than most. Apparently it’s a protection mechanism that is particularly important for young children with allergies so they have some control over what they eat and prevent accidental allergic reactions. Well, that was his opinion, and it makes me feel a little better about having children with limited diets who are also rather fussy. Smooth soups can be an easy way to pack in the ‘scary’ veg without too much trauma. This recipe must be the simplest, easiest and most packed full of pea flavour that you could find. You will almost always have the 4 ingredients to hand to create a nutritious and frankly delicious lunch in about fifteen minutes.
